I'll answer personally and, with the help of other GMC instructors too(I hope so ), we can slowly make a "7 string Guide" collecting informations from your requests. So, just start asking questions about pick-ups, guitars gear etc. and make it grow Joe Kataldo You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If yes, how much heavier the fingering is? With most of chords on 6 string, I have a strange feeling, that one more finger on my hand would be useful:D (also when soloing, another finger would be killer - for those stupid 5+ fret strechtes:D Damn you, Pavel:D) and secondly... meh.. what i wanted to know? geeze.. Ah finally:) What is the difference in neck? I have guessed, that it is different.. in its shape you know.. How is it to play on one? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Ah finally:) What is the difference in neck? I have guessed, that it is different.. in its shape you know.. How is it to play on one? Well, the neck is bigger, and the fingerboard wider, I've played a couple of gigs with a seven string, were I really didn't need the low B, just to experiment, and your hand will be weary sooner then on a normal guitar, I think mainly because of the bigger neck You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Are some guitar bodies not suited to a 7 string set up, as i intended to make a 7 string Les Paul :\| I suppose the neck pocket should be bigger to fit the bigger and wider neck, apart from that the scale is the same (for standard tuning), anyway this is a more liuther side question, I can't answer for sure P.S.
